camffiti Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Hunt did well at RWB last season Maybe we're cutting back further on wages. If that is the case, we may have to cut our expectations accordingly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is the case, we may have to cut our expectations accordingly I doubt Hunt is on loads. My preference is to keep him, but if we can bring in a younger right wingback then so be it. Tbf, it's just a random tweet, so might not be anything in it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG D Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 I wouldn’t mind most/all of the team that finished the season staying/signing but realistically something has to change because we came up just short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However we don't know whether it's the club that's decided not offer him another contract or if he's turned a contract offer down. DM rested him a few times towards the end of the season so maybe the club think that at his age he's maybe not up to the rigours of a 46 match League 1 season given the wages he would command. Agreed and he’s a far better player than Palmer (who I still think can be a squad member but no more) 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do need to get that average age down too. My preference would be to keep Hunt as I think he's a very good right wingback at this level. But we do need to get some younger players into the building. Do have one too many of the starting XI who are in or around 30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JemmoJemoJemmo Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Nobody at that age is going to be happy being sub. And I’m not sure having both wing backs over 30 is the way to go. We definitely need to get a bit more athleticism in the team. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pieman Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Been a good player for us. But we have to move on. We said we had a team capable of keeping us up, we were relegated. We said we had a team good enough to get promoted, we weren’t. The easy choice is to blame the manager. We need new players. The game has moved on, we neeeeeeeeeeed more legs in the team. We have an experienced spine, we now need to surround them with athletes and power. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevthelodgemoorowl Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Why do we keep getting this Bla Bla Bla "Shame if True" crap. Footballers, Athletes, Greyhounds & Horses all run out of steam eventually; Otherwise Mick The Miller would still be at it ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Be a shame to lose Hunty again, I think he’s had a solid season and is a great attacking outlet for us at times He may get offered a 1yr deal in Champ though I suspect, Rotherham wouldn’t surprise me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SallyCinnamon Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Think he tweeted after the play off defeat he’d enjoyed his year back at Hillsborough? Seemed to be that he was hinting he wouldn’t return. Would be a shame, think we’d struggle to find a better RWB at this level without paying good money. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't the reason we didn't go up, he had a great season. The reason was our weakness elsewhere on the pitch and in the dugout. Always a worry when the stronger performers exit and your plodders remain. Edited May 20, 2022 by Owls2k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dannit1984 Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 IMO he gives everything he’s got every game! When he runs he sprints! He’s up and down that wing like nobody else! He gets to the line and puts the ball in! What more can u ask for? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if we found a younger option, Hunt would be very good to have around still. Gives his all and never stops getting up and down the flank which is perfect for our wingback role. Very strange news this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
